Greetings.

I am trying to connect to a Gentoo X Server and it is connecting, but I 
don't seem to be able to open an xterm.  All I get is a full screen without 
anything.  I am running this command:

XWin -query d-tuxedo

where d-tuxedo is the X Server.  It works well with xinit.  Here is the 
.xinitrc:

jicman 23:51:28-> cat .xinitrc
#!/bin/sh
# $Xorg: xinitrc.cpp,v 1.3 2000/08/17 19:54:30 cpqbld Exp $

userresources="$HOME"/.Xresources
usermodmap="$HOME"/.Xmodmap
sysresources=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/.Xresources
sysmodmap=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/.Xmodmap

# merge in defaults and keymaps

if [ -f "$sysresources" ]; then
    xrdb -merge "$sysresources"
fi

if [ -f "$sysmodmap" ]; then
    xmodmap "$sysmodmap"
fi

if [ -f "$userresources" ]; then
    xrdb -merge "$userresources"
fi

if [ -f "$usermodmap" ]; then
    xmodmap "$usermodmap"
fi

# start some nice programs


xhost + localhost
cd
xterm -display $DISPLAY -name "xterm-1" -sb \
-sl 1000 -geometry +0+0 &
xterm -display $DISPLAY -name "xterm-2" -sb \
-sl 1000 -geometry +270+190 &
#fvwm2
wmaker

So, what is it that I am doing wrong?  I tried searching on different places 
and google it, but I could not find any thing.

Any help would be greated appreciated.

thanks,

josé
